Just like a child who trusts his father dear
And who delights to feel his presence near.
Just like a child whose mind has not a doubt
And whose heart is never proud
Here I come, O Lord, Here I come just like a child (2)
Just like a child so weak he cannot stand,
But who holds firm and tight his mother’s hand,
Just like a child who sings in broad daylight
Fearing not the long dark night.
Just like a child that guilty deeds oppress
With mind and heart in trouble and distress
Who throws himself into his mother's arms
Sure she'll free him from his qualms.
And who delights to feel his presence near.
Just like a child whose mind has not a doubt
And whose heart is never proud
Here I come, O Lord, Here I come just like a child (2)
Just like a child so weak he cannot stand,
But who holds firm and tight his mother’s hand,
Just like a child who sings in broad daylight
Fearing not the long dark night.
Just like a child that guilty deeds oppress
With mind and heart in trouble and distress
Who throws himself into his mother's arms
Sure she'll free him from his qualms.
